Alright, I don't know if this will be the end, or if I will do a few more chapters, but if it is the end, I will try to make a sequel.

Jinx's POV

I woke up to a dim light and saw Jack sitting on the edge of my bed, watching me sleep. I blushed, because I was just in a tank top and underwear. I pulled the sheet over my body. "Hey," I said. My shoulder throbbed and so did my head. I wasn't in a very good mood, since I had just been kidnapped. I couldn't help but think about our kiss. 'What if he thought it was a mistake?' he probably did, since I ran out of there like a startled rabbit. 'I'm an idiot,'

"Hey Jinx," He said softly. He looked exhausted, like he hadn't slept for days. But his eyes had that playful look they always had, and he smiled at me. "How ya feelin'?"

He was looking at my shoulder. I turned to see it. The blood had seeped through the clothe I put on it and I couldn't move it without crying out. "Never better," I joked. But it kind of fell flat, because neither of us laughed.

"I'll let you get dressed," he said and walked out. A few minutes later I had a long shirt on and he came back in with a bucket of water and a rag. He sat on my bed and leaned closer. "Here, let's see." He said, and took my arm. I winced. "Sorry," he said. He carefully unbound my arm. It was oozing blood and the skin around it was red and puffy. I really couldn't move my arm. Jack dipped the rag in the water. He dabbed the rag onto my skin, cleaning up the dried blood.

He kept dipping and dabbing until he was satisfied that my shoulder was clean enough. It did look better, and he suggested we go into the washroom to look for some gauze. He helped me get up and when we got there I slouched against the wall. Jack was looking in the cabinets while I watched him. Fortunately, he found a handful of gauze in the back of a cabinet. My shoulder looked less disgusting while it was wrapped up all nice like a present.

"So, I'll, um, go see if I can find something else to help your shoulda'." Jack said and turned around. I caught his hand with my good arm.

"Wait," Jack looked at me, confused. I took a deep breath. My heart was going crazy. 'What's wrong with me?' I demanded. 'This is just Jack.' "Jack," I said, "Why did you kiss me?" I looked him straight in the eyes.

He stood there like a statue. He was acting like I just said I was Pulitzer's long lost daughter and I was gaining all his inheritance. For once, Jack Kelly was at a loss of words. Then he said, "Did I ever tell you about Santa Fe?" I shook my head, not sure where he was going with this. "Well, that was the plan," he continued. "I was gonna go right after the strike, but then I met the Jacobs." Jealousy ran through me. "I couldn't leave them, 'cuz they were like my family. Then I learned that Sarah was moving to Boston, and I was crushed. I was all ready to leave, the day I met you'se. But then I did meet you. And I knew I couldn't leave." He stared at me with those intense eyes.

"Jack," I couldn't lie to him. "I like you, too. I might even really like you. My family's gone, too, but I'm not running." I looked at Jack. He was smiling, and I didn't know why. He could really annoy me sometimes. "What?" I asked.

"I like you, too, Jinx." He stepped closer and kissed me again. It was amazing, and much better than our first kiss. All my pain and fear went away, and my thoughts were only of Jack. His eyes, the way he talks, the way he laughs.

"Woo-Wee! Sorry, boys, looks like there's a party goin' on in here!" Races shouted and the bathroom was filled with boys' laughter. I blushed furiously, but Jack laughed with them. First I was mad, but I ended up laughing too. We were all happy I was safe- especially me, that we were laughing hysterically.

Then Jack spoke up, "Ok, everyone," he gasped. "Time for bed!" I thought he meant with me, and my heart pounded wildly again. But luckily, got up with all the other boys and went to their room. But not before he could kiss me again.

I sat there for a long while, and when I got up, I felt dizzy and light headed. I got into bed, and found that I couldn't stop smiling. While I was drifting off to sleep, the bad things that happened today drifted away. But I held on to the good things. I wanted to remember those for a long time.

The end! Maybe. HeHe :)Review and Tell me what you think about it & tell me if you want me to do a few more chapters or just leave it off! Thanks so much!
